Brad Wearn, serving as the chief technology officer, brings extensive expertise and forward-thinking approaches to the evolving landscape of IT services procurement and management. With a keen eye on industry trends and organisational needs, he recognises the shift toward purchasing IT capabilities “as a service,” acknowledging both its agility and potential security risks.
In his role, Wearn navigates the challenges posed by “shadow IT” and the impact it can have on organizational spending and security. Embracing an IT delivery model focused on flexibility and efficiency, he champions the adoption of “as a service” platforms. This approach ensures transparency in usage and enables the implementation of necessary controls to safeguard critical data and systems.
By spearheading this transformation, Wearn moves away from defending a large IT budget toward facilitating the adoption of tailored technology solutions aligned with evolving business needs. With an unwavering commitment to driving innovation and maximizing value, he sees himself at the forefront of an exciting journey as a CIO, navigating the ever-changing landscape of technology with enthusiasm and expertise.

“Our global and local thought leadership and research provide essential insights into the biggest challenges and opportunities facing HR leaders today to help our clients make the best investment decisions, set the most sustainable people strategies and understand how their peers are responding to emerging trends and evolving employee needs,” says Kylie Green, managing director, APAC.
Since its acquisition by Edenred in May 2023, Reward Gateway has made great strides in successfully integrating its two businesses to realise the combined strength of both entities.
Combining Reward Gateway’s operations and technology with Edenred’s position as a global market leader across one million corporate clients in 45 countries solidifies its mission to “make the world a better place to work.”
Reward Gateway’s eight-member leadership team brings diverse skills, experience, background, and capabilities that propel its global growth while preserving and constantly improving its culture.
Within its recognition and reward solution, the company has invested significantly into evolving and expanding its Reward Marketplace to increase the relevance of employee rewards and optimise the redemption experience.
It has recently seen a shift in how employees use their reward value to focus on cost-of-living relief: grocery has been the top category for reward redemption on its Reward Marketplace in the last two years.
Increasing the range of redemption options and ease of use to support employees with everyday expenses, such as supermarket discounted e-gift cards to use on their weekly food shop or retail discounts to replace essential white goods, has helped employees use their reward money on something much more meaningful for them.
Being a Reward Gateway client means being part of its community and having the opportunity to access exclusive industry research and regularly network with peers from leading brands such as Hungry Jacks, Flight Centre, Suncorp, and Samsung at in-person events like Reward Gateway Live and The Reward Gateway Summit.
The company hosts exclusive virtual events, including webinars and tailored client masterclasses, and dedicated employee end-user webinars to support program optimisation, adoption and engagement.
Reward Gateway has also invested in building a retail team within Australia dedicated to ensuring its clients and their employees have access to market-leading discounts at top retailers (550-plus and growing) across Australia and New Zealand, as well as a diverse range of reward redemption options to suit all employees.
“This all allows us to make a difference in people’s lives, powering recognition and appreciation, alleviating cost of living pressures, providing meaningful wellbeing support and building connection and belonging,” adds Green.
